Thinking About Conclusions for Essay 3

• Perhaps you can use the conclusion to frame a few ideas about the key terms being used

• Example, for "Masters of Love": how universal is the need for generosity in successful relationships? Or, where and when is generosity (of time, of self) not enough? Or, what outside factors aren't discussed that would be ripe for studying further?  

• Or, be quirky thoughtful: These authors have only given you one position, one view, one study, of their topic. What would you like them to do next? What other studies would you like to see done on the subject?

• You're trying to end your essay in a way that keeps people thinking--but you don't want them questioning whether you have really thought about your own ideas that much. You want the conclusion paragraph(s) to illustrate that you have really thought about larger impact of your ideas. Reflection of ideas becomes key. Reflection of those ideas out in the world becomes key.
